Chain conveyors

Chain conveyors

PLANTECH chain conveyors employ a heavy-duty chain and paddle transport arrangement that effectively traps and drags material between the paddles along the length of the conveyor to its end destination.

The chains are constructed from high-grade welded steel and have a mechanical or hydraulic tensioning system that ensures they remain taught and effective. When conveying pellets, the paddles are fitted with plastic strips to avoid any material degradation.

Owing to the strength and wear-resistance of our chains, these conveyors deliver high reliability, often making them a system of choice for power and pellet plants, sawmills, the panel board, and pulp and paper industries.

PLANTECH conveyors have low operational costs and are designed to meet customer applications from single-line conveyors with a 600mm width to heavy-duty conveyors with dual-chains up to a 2,000mm width.

A key feature of the PLANTECH chain conveyor is the high angle of operation it can achieve. Loading the conveyor occurs at low angles, horizontal is optimal, with the chain and paddles turning upwards in a transition piece with easily replaceable wear strips. Angles, as high as 45 degrees, are used to shorten the horizontal distances between the loading and discharge points.
